    First time here. Food was good! Service was good. Our server was Danielle, she was nice and helpful. LOVE The bathroom door and sinks love how they have it decorated inside!

    Fun atmosphere plus good quality food spells a fun night out for the whole family. A historical tip to Henry Ford in this establishment with witty quotes on the walls, original model Ford's inside and out, and even a piston holding up a tasty onion ring tower. Place is super crowded on a typical night, so plan to come early. Once seated, our food came out fast given how busy it was. Burgers were tasty, maybe a bit overcooked for the requested medium temp. Apps were well prepared, and the onion ring tower was a hit for the whole family. A great spot for a tasty meal, a few cold drinks or some sports. Bring the fam or come with a few friends for a fun time here.

    I love the food here! So much better than similar chains. I was surprised to find out they were a chain!. I've been to multiple locations in Florida and they've all been exceptional.

    Pulled pork happy hour special. Really good. Best fries ever!
    Jason K.

    My wife and I took about the mile walk to Pier Park to try out this newish restaurant Pier Park. We entered and the decor was super cool, with a Model T truck hanging from the ceiling that makes gas station noises a lot. Really cool inside. Our bartender was great and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and a beer for $13. It came out really quick and had a cool brand marked into the bun. The meat was super tender and juicy and flavorful. Solid sandwich. The fries were some of the best I ever had, super crispy and well flavored. There was something goofy with the Blue Moon, but I will blame it on some dirty beer lines. Great happy hour and decor, awesome place known for tourist traps, but this place rocks the norm!

    This is the first time we tried this place on a Friday. We came here for happy hour and they weren't busy at all. We asked to be seated at a booth and were told there are only two servers available and booth wasn't an option. This was not a good start. We should have left right there and then but we decided to still give this place a try. Then service was very slow. We waited forever for our drinks and we ordered the tater tots, chicken tenders and old fashioned drinks from the happy hour menu. Then we also ordered their tomato basil soup and chicken wings from the regular menu. Service could be better and when the bill arrived, they charged full price for the old fashioned drinks instead of the happy hour price. So always check your bill to make sure. The servers are new and they don't seem to know much either. Anyhow I don't think I will be back at this place. The food was fine but didn't like how they charged full price for the drinks, which they corrected when I told them and service was slow too. Pics of the food and drinks are below.

    We ducked back in here with the rain - it's been about a year so what the heck let's have a drink. Got to the bar which is beautiful hand hammered copper and was greeted by our bartender. She gave us menus and on it was the tower of rings - whyNOT ??? Rings were amazing ! Crunchy not greasy - down right great !!! Stop by if you are near - it's more than worth it !!!

    Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt
    Darrel H.

    I've been trying to eat at Ford's Garage since it opened in 2024 and have attempted to dine here four separate times over the past year and a half. On the previous visits, the hosts seemed visibly annoyed when we asked for a table and quoted 30-45 minute wait times despite multiple open tables. Each time, we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. Today we were finally seated, but unfortunately the experience was mixed. Our table had a dirty fork left behind from the previous guests, and when I opened the menu, several pages felt sticky. It gave the impression that table turnover and cleaning may not be consistent. That said, our waitress was attentive and honestly better than most service we've experienced lately. She checked in regularly, was friendly, and did a great job taking care of us. As for the food, I ordered the brisket melt, which was very good, flavorful and well cooked. My girlfriend had the pulled pork mac and cheese. While prepared well, the bourbon BBQ sauce was extremely sweet and overpowered the dish, making it taste more like a dessert than a savory entrée. Overall, the food and our server were solid, but front of house management and cleanliness need improvement to match the atmosphere they're aiming for.

    We really enjoyed the same chain at a different location but today we were disappointed. I ordered a patty melt which was very dry and overdone, the crust too hard to bite into. My husband got the blackened salmon and he thought it was great. The waitress was very attentive but it took a long time for the food and it wasn't that busy at all. We will stick to the Gainesville location.

    Garlic parm wings were nice sized portions -not them little bitty wings.
    Traci H.

    Loved the fried pickle spears as they are less salty than the chips. Breading was on point while maintaining some firmness to the pickle . The garlic parm wings were tasty as well. The cars on display and the roomier space was great as well. I would go back here for the service and food were just what was needed.

    Best burger I've had so far. Amazing taste and great location. Well known for a reason with ambience and friendly service

    We visited for lunch and unfortunately the experience started off on the wrong foot. Our waitress…read moreseemed very unenthusiastic, and when we asked for the draft beer menu, she didn't provide the full list. The one beer we actually wanted (which we later found out *was* available) was never offered to us. We ended up returning later that evening since we were staying at the hotel and didn't feel like going elsewhere--and things didn't improve. The bartender was clearly overwhelmed, but also very disengaged. He barely acknowledged us, avoided eye contact, and it took multiple attempts just to get his attention for drinks. It wasn't just us--service across the bar was extremely slow. Orders were taking a long time, and at one point a guest waited over two hours for a pizza because it was never entered until they reminded him. Someone else eventually stepped in to "help," but instead of improving things, she came across as rude and unhelpful--frequently deflecting customers back to the already overwhelmed bartender. For example, she refused to take drink orders or assist customers with open tabs, which only added to the confusion and delays. Overall, the staff seemed unhappy, disengaged, and like they didn't want to be there--which really showed in the level of service. Disappointing experience, especially for a place connected to a hotel where guests rely on convenience.

Boy, they didn't disappoint and were on it in all phases tonight. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a cheerful staff. They asked where we wanted to sit and then one of the hostesses took us to our seats. From there Bri took over!!! She was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She told us about the specials and also items she recommended. We had the calamari to start. It was light, crispy and paired great with the two dipping sauces that accompanied it. Then we had the dinner special which was the blackened redfish in a delicious tomato sauce and the Parmesan flounder. We also had the mashed potatoes, red beans and rice and hushpuppies. Everything was delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauces on both dishes were amazing. The red beans and rice were way better than anything in New Orleans. It was flavorful and had plenty of sausage to put everything together. The mashed potatoes were very good also. If I had to say something needed a little help, I would say add just a little butter to those potatoes and they will be even better. We had dessert to go and I had the dream pie. I can't say enough about this pie. Bri told me I would love it and she was correct. It is definitely a must on my next visit. It was savory and creamy at the same time. If you're in the area, please put this restaurant on your list. You won't be disappointed. Ask for Bri!! She is amazing and also the young ladies at the front were the best group of hostesses that I've seen in a long time. Oh, the live music and as also great.
